New York state officials on Friday froze portions of a state Web site that
identity thieves could have used to access the Social Security numbers of
some New Yorkers -- including billionaire developer Donald Trump.

The Department of State's Web site led to commercial loan documents where
the numbers could be found with a simple name search. It took the
department more than three hours to block access to the documents after The
Associated Press alerted officials to the problem.

The forms are posted by the department to let lenders know the current
financial status of loan recipients.

It was unclear late Friday how long the information was available on the
site, and the Department of State did not immediately return calls seeking
clarification.

Trump was traveling and could not immediately be reached for comment.
